From 3d7747e318532a36a263c61cdf92f2decb6424ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2020 13:11:22 +0000 Subject: real_path: remove unsafe API Returning a shared buffer invites very subtle bugs due to reentrancy or multi-threading, as demonstrated by the previous patch. There was an unfinished effort to abolish this [1]. Let's finally rid of `real_path()`, using `strbuf_realpath()` instead. This patch uses a local `strbuf` for most places where `real_path()` was previously called. However, two places return the value of `real_path()` to the caller. For them, a `static` local `strbuf` was added, effectively pushing the problem one level higher: read_gitfile_gently() get_superproject_working_tree() [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/1480964316-99305-1-git-send-email-bmwill@google.com/ Signed-off-by: Alexandr Miloslavskiy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- t/helper/test-path-utils.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 't/helper/test-path-utils.c') diff --git a/t/helper/test-path-utils.c b/t/helper/test-path-utils.c index 409034cf4e..313a153209 100644 --- a/t/helper/test-path-utils.c +++ b/t/helper/test-path-utils.c @@ -290,11 +290,14 @@ int cmd__path_utils(int argc, const char **argv) } if (argc >= 2 && !strcmp(argv[1], "real_path")) { + struct strbuf realpath = STRBUF_INIT; while (argc > 2) { - puts(real_path(argv[2])); + strbuf_realpath(&realpath, argv[2], 1); + puts(realpath.buf); argc--; argv++; } + strbuf_release(&realpath); return 0; } -- cgit v1.2.3
